Review:
Travis & Muldoon‑Adventures On The Santa Fe Trail, follows a college history professor and a Westerns writer making a six-week long horseback trip along the Cimarron Cutoff of the Trail, looking for the sweeter times and simpler lives of their youths. One is emerging from divorce and despair over a stalled academic career, the other from writing shoot-‘em-ups that don't sell.
Unprepared for the rigors of the trip the two men are dragged into a relentless fight for survival that transforms them from bland and gutless modern men into the raw and passionate mountain men of Muldoon's cliched shoot-‘em-ups. An action adventure genre, Travis & Muldoon is also a bitingly humorous literary novel about two mediocre contemporary men who through the extremes of human suffering discover within themselves fundamental identities they never knew existed.
In this transformation Sam Muldoon learns to take charge of his life, as well as his friend's, while Travis Banning, the take-charge pragmatist, retreats into Muldovian fantasy. Each has a starring role in the other's drama. As they near Santa Fe from Kansas they are different men. In a sense they have become one another.
